There is hardly farmer TO be found who
has not made up his mind to he in the
city Oh the 18th and 18th. The parade
and boat races will be the principal features
of the first day. Although the parade will
not be as gorg eous as the one held in
Whe cling during the reunion, it will be rs
good as can be expected, considering the
short time the management has had TO ar
range the display. Among the well.known
merchants whom we have heard will

heats. The first day all entered will row
for places in the consolation race. Such

The street railway dies hard, but the
death ''gurgle" cad now be heard. We do
not glory in the death OF an institution
which since its inception has been bene-
fit to the people of the city, but We think
the sooner the road is suspended the better,
as some of our business men may be q BILE

it has passed away. The railroad was
good paying property when it was run
right, and would be again if put in good
shape.
